Thanks for the report, Mark! I birded Atascadero Creek (west of Patterson) and San Pedro Creek in Goleta this morning and had a similar experience. Lots of Yellow and Orange-crowned Warblers, Black-headed Grosbeaks, and other riparian birds present and singing, but very few obvious migrants. Atascadero was interesting to see. There were pretty huge flows through here this winter and a lot of the channel has been rearranged or scoured, but in many places willows have been knocked over but are still rooted and look pretty happy. I think this section of creek is one of the best on the South Coast for breeding riparian birds and it seems to me like it should continue to be good this year despite the floods. I didn't see or hear Wilson's Warblers here this trip but I got there a little late. https://ebird.org/checklist/S135425540 https://ebird.org/checklist/S135443414 toggle quoted message Show quoted text |
